So I ordered the powertap on a prebuilt wheel and a powertap joule computer that some posters kindly suggested. I got it from a respected outfit called wheel builder.
I have it here and even managed to pull off the cassette from my old wheel, put it on the new PT wheel along with a fresh tub and tire. I'm a novice rider but I put it all together after watching a few videos on Youtube on how to replace a cassette, etc.
Unfortunately the computer doesn't seem to turn on at all. I've pressed every button, i have pulled the battery (a round cr2032 one), and still nothing happens. I even plugged it in via USB to my pc and it just lists the powertap version (joule 18.057 Boot B2).
Any suggestions or thoughts?
I have already tried a known good CR2032 battery on the unit and it doesn't wake up or do anything regardless of what buttons I push.
Any other ideas? Do I have to do anything else with the hub and wheel?
I have checked on youtube and the saris/powertap site but there's no help and it seems the computer should turn on by pushing any button. I would call the company that sold it to me and/or powertap directly but of course the wheel just arrived tonight and those shops are closed until monday.
I was super excited to get my first ride with power in this weekend but that looks in doubt
